We demonstrate that the flow of a longitudinal spin current with different spin polarization will induce different patterns of charge accumulation in a two-terminal strip, or electric current distribution in a four-terminal Hall-bar…
We study theoretically the proximity effect between ferromagnets (F) and superconductors (S) with broken time-reversal symmetry (${\cal T}$). A chiral $(p_x\pm ip_y)$-wave, and a $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconductor, the latter of which can…
We present a unified theory of charge carrier transport in 2D Dirac systems with broken mirror inversion and time-reversal symmetries (e.g., as realized in ferromagnetic graphene). We find that the entanglement between spin and pseudospin…
Despite generally lacking ferromagnetic properties or strong spin-orbit coupling, electrons in chiral molecules exhibit unique spin-dependent transport behavior, known as chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS). This phenomenon implies a…
The Hall effect usually occurs when the Lorentz force acts on a charge current in a conductor in the presence of perpendicular magnetic field. On the other hand, neutral quasi-particles such as phonons and spins can carry heat current and…
We present a new mechanism for dissipationless persistent charge current. Two dimensional topological insulators hold dissipationless spin currents in their edges so that, for a given spin orientation, a net charge current flows which is…
We develop a theoretical formula of spin Hall torque in the presence of two ferromagnets. While the direction of the conventional spin Hall torque always points to the in-plane direction, the present system enables to manipulate the torque…
For certain non-magnetic solids with low symmetry the occurrence of spin-polarized longitudinal currents is predicted. These arise due to an interplay of spin-orbit interaction and the particular crystal symmetry. This result is derived…
We investigate persistent charge and spin currents in a magnetic quantum ring threaded by an Aharonov-Bohm flux, in the presence of a side-coupled one-dimensional non-magnetic chain. The neighboring magnetic moments in the ring are arranged…
Noncoplanar magnetic states with a scalar spin chirality have been intensively studied in condensed matter physics, since they exhibit fascinating physical phenomena. We theoretically propose the generation of such noncoplanar magnetic…
We show that direct current in a tantalum microstrip can induce steady-state magnetic oscillations in an adjacent nanomagnet through spin torque from the spin Hall effect (SHE). The oscillations are detected electrically via a magnetic…
In a ferromagnet, an applied electric field $\bf E$ invariably produces an anomalous Hall current ${\bf J}_H$ that flows perpendicular to the plane defined by $\bf E$ and $\bf M$ (the magnetization). For decades, the question whether ${\bf…
A new proposal is given to design a spin half-adder in a nano-junction. It is well known that at finite voltage a net circulating current (known as circular current) appears within a mesoscopic ring under asymmetric ring-to-electrode…
We consider fermionic dense matter under a magnetic field, where fermions couple minimally to gauge fields, and calculate anomalous currents at one loop. We find anomalous currents are spontaneously generated along the magnetic field but…
